20.25 in 2:31:51 a 7:30 average. I was planning on meeting up with Riley and some of his fast friends. In an email he said they were meeting at Rainbow Gardens at the mouth of ogden canyon. I thought that was the name of the store that had the post office right acrossed it and a subway. I was wrong. After waiting at South Fork center until about 7:00 I drove up the canyon dropping water and gu. Then I parked at the park in huntsville and ran 10 miles up and then ran 10 miles back down. I was pretty happy with my pace going up the canyon. I averaged a 7:40 mile goind up. I was hoping to do 10 marathon pace miles on the way down the canyon. On the way up the canyon about 9.25 miles up I see Riley's group of friends. I was tempted to turn around and try and stay with them, but I know that was pointless. They were so much faster than me. I wanted to run with the group because I figured it would push me and help run faster. Back to running down the canyon. I just couldn't run marathon pace miles. For a good portion of the way down I was running into a head wind. When I got to the main road in huntville I saw Riley's group heading back up to get there car. I had a little less than a mile left. I wish I could run faster at the end of the run.
